Paper Curl
Paper curl is a very significant factor in printer performance. It can affect the printer in the following ways:
Paper jam, paper skew and ability to be picked up
Paper stacking uniformly in the output stacker
Paper wrinkles through the heat roller (fuser).
Nearly all paper has curl or a tendency to curl. Curl can occur after the paper passes through the printer’s fuser where it is exposed to high temperatures. In most paper, curl results from unusually large, sudden, or uneven changes in the moisture content.
Acceptable Paper Curl
Less than 10 mm
How to Avoid Paper Curl
Use
Store the paper in a moderate environment (40% to 60% relative humidity).
Minimize humidity changes throughout the day in the printer room.
Minimize the humidity difference between the paper storage area and the printer room. If the humidity difference is considerable, move the paper into the printer room a few days before to allow the paper to adjust to the printer room environment.
Wrap the unused paper properly in
